WARNING:
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the tool. Do
not use the tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts. Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be
avoided.
• Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant
safety goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a
dust mask in dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust
collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in
the work area.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Remove keys or wrenches before connecting the tool to an air supply, power supply, or
turning on the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may

• Secure the work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand when practical. This safety
precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
WARNING:
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three
wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
• Do not allow the product to come into contact with an electrical source. The tool is not
insulated and contact will cause electrical shock.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry the tools or pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged power cords immediately. Damaged power cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cords marked “W-A” or “W”.
These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.
CAUTION:
SAW USE AND CARE
• Do not force the saw. Tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which they
are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.
• Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the tool will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never
operate the tool with a damaged part.

Specific Operation Warnings
WARNING:
• Wear the proper safety gear including ANSI Z87.1 compliant eye protection.
• Cutting Hazard. DO NOT operate with guard removed. Keep hands clear of blade.
• Hold work piece firmly against table.
• Never hold the material by hand with the saw in the horizontal position. Always use the vise
or clamp.
• Support long, heavy work by other methods from the floor.
• Electric shock hazard. Be sure equipment is properly grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Ground fault circuit interrupters. If work area is not equipped with a permanently installed
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet (GFCI), use a plug-in GFCI between power tool or
extension cord and power receptacle.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging tool into
power outlet.
• In the event of a power failure, while a tool is being used, turn both the switches off to
prevent surprise starting when power is restored.
• When moving the saw, ALWAYS have the head lowered to the horizontal position.
• Turn power OFF before servicing.
• Not for use by or around children.
Grounding
WARNING:
• This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
This drill press is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
• DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
• CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
Grounded Tools: Tools with 3-Prong Plugs
Tools marked with Grounding Required have a 3-wire cord and 3-prong grounding plug. The
plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction
or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the
user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the
grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the
tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically live terminal.
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the
following illustration.
Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two-Prong Plugs
Tools marked Double Insulated do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical
Code. (See Figure B.)
Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following
illustration.
Extension Cords
WARNING:
• USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of
power and cause overheating.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect
your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
• Grounded tools require a 3-wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a 2- or
3-wire extension cord.
• As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension
cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
• The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example,
a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. Minimum extension cord
wire size is shown in the following table:

CHANGING SPEEDS
When using your band saw, always change the blade speed to best suit the material being cut.
See the cutting chart shown below.
1. Turn off power.
2. Open the belt guard cover (75).
3. Loosen the lead screw (#70), you are now able to change the position of the belt on the two
pulleys to obtain the desired speed.
4. When belt is adjusted, lock the motor firmly.
5. Close the belt guard cover.
CUTTING
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE THE SAW WITHOUT BLADE GUARDS IN PLACE.
Be sure the blade is not in contact with the work when the motor is started. Start the motor,
allow the saw to come to full speed, and then begin the cut by lowering the head down
slowly onto the work. DO NOT DROP OR FORCE the blade. Let the weight of the saw head
provide the cutting force. The saw automatically shuts off at the end of the cut.
Adjusting the blade:
A. Loosen the screw (11, shown at right).
B. Adjust the blade adjustable seat (64) to make
the blade vertical to the bed.
C. Place a square on the bed to check that the blade is
vertical. If not, repeat step B.
D. Tighten the screw (#11).
BLADE SELECTION
A general-use blade is furnished with the saw. Additional blades in 10 and 14 tooth sizes are
available. The choice of blade pitch is governed by the thickness of the work to be cut; the
thinner the workpiece, the more teeth recommended. A minimum of 3 teeth should be in the
workpiece at all times for proper cutting. If the teeth of the blade are so far apart that they
straddle the work, severe damage to the workpiece and to the blade can result.
BLADE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL
Be sure the blade is assembled to the pulleys such
that the vertical edge engages the workpiece first.
CHANGING BLADES
1. Ensure that power is disconnected before changing the blade.
2. Raise the saw head to vertical.
3. Remove the blade back safety cover (115).
4. Loosen the blade tension adjusting knob (37) sufficiently to allow the saw blade to slip off the
wheels.
5. Wearing gloves, carefully install the new blade with teeth slanting toward the motor (shown
above) as follows:
a. Place the blade in between each of the guide bearings.
b. Slip the blade around the motor pulley (bottom) with the left hand and hold it in position.
c. Hold the blade taut against the motor pulley by pulling the blade upward with the right hand
placed at the top of the blade.
d. Remove the left hand from bottom pulley and place it at the top side of the blade to continue
the upward pull on the blade.
e. Remove the right hand from blade and adjust the position of the top pulley to permit the left
hand to slip the blade around the pulley, using the thumb, index and little finger as guides.
f. Adjust the blade tension knob clockwise until it is just right enough so no blade slippage
occurs. Do not tighten excessively.
6. Reattach the blade back safety cover.
BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
This metal cutting band saw is equipped with an adjustable blade guide. This feature permits
you to adjust the position of the blade guide for variable width workpieces.
To get the most accurate cut and prolong the life of the blade, the adjustable blade guide
should be adjusted to just clear the piece to be cut. This is done as follows:
1. Place the workpiece in the vise.
2. Adjust the blade guide to the desired position by loosening the hand knob (49) and
positioning the guide as required.
3. Tighten the hand knob.
ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION
1. Ensure that power is disconnected before
adjusting the blade tension.
2. Press the blade lightly half-way between the
wheels with left hand. The blade should
bow about 1 mm.
3. Adjust the blade tension adjusting knob (37) with the right hand until proper tension is
obtained.
BLADE GUIDE BEARING ADJUSTMENT
This is the most important adjustment on the saw. It is impossible to get satisfactory work from
your saw if the blade guides are not properly adjusted. The blade guide bearing for your band
saw are adjusted and power tested with several test cuts before leaving the factory to insure
the proper setting.
The need for adjustment should rarely occur if the saw is used properly. If the guides become
out of adjustment, it is extremely important to readjust immediately. If proper adjustment is not
maintained, the blade will not cut straight and if the situation is not corrected, it will cause blade
damage.
Because guide adjustment is a critical factor in the performance of your saw, it is always best to
try a new blade to see if this will correct poor cutting before beginning to adjust the bearings. If
a blade becomes dull on one side sooner than the other, for example, it will not cut straight. A
simple blade change should correct this problem, the more difficult guide adjustment will not.
If a new blade does not correct the problem, check the blade guides for proper spacing. There
should be 0.001" clearance between the 0.025" thickness blade and guide bearing. The inner
guide bearing is fixed and cannot be adjusted. The outer guide bearing is mounted to the idler
pulley shaft (93 & 106) and can be adjusted. To obtain this clearance, adjust as follows:
1. Loosen the nut while holding the bolt with a wrench.
2. Position the eccentric by turning the bolt to the desired position of clearance.
3. Tighten the nut.
4. Adjust the second blade guide bearing in the same manner.
5. The back edge of the blade should just touch the lip of the blade guide bearing.

ADJUSTING THE BLADE TRACKING
This adjustment has been completed and tested at the factory. The need for adjusting should
rarely occur when the saw is used properly. If tracking becomes out of adjustment, use the
steps below to correct it:
1. Turn the blade tension knob (37) to loosen the blade a little while it still tracks against the
pulley.
2. Loosen the hex head screws (23 & 25).
3. Simultaneously turn with blade tension knob (37) and the hex head screw (24) to align the
blade with the edge of the pulley.
4. Tighten the hex head screw (24) to secure tracking then tighten the blade tension knob to
correct tension.
5. Adjust the blade guides according to the material size (see Blade Guide Adjustment).
After Each Use
After each use, clean the saw of debris and scraps of metal. If the saw will not be used for a
while, spread a thin coat of oil on the surfaces that not painted to prevent rust.
Store the saw when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children.
Inspect the saw for good working condition prior to storage and again before re-use.
Maintenance
WARNING:
• Put the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool to avoid the risk of starting the saw accidentally.
• Use only recommended parts for use with the saw. Parts that may be suitable for one tool
may create a risk of injury when used with another tool. Never use an accessory that has a
lower operating speed than the saw itself.
Maintain the saw. It is recommended that the general condition of any tool be examined before
it is used. Keep the saw in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair and
maintenance in accordance with the recommended procedures found in this manual.
Keep all cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
